I have a registration as an Input Service Distributor. Am I required to raise invoices even though no taxable supplies are made from this registration number?

  1. Yes. An Input Service Distributor (ISD) should issue a tax invoice being an ‘ISD invoice’ for distributing credits to the GST registrations that have the same PAN as that of the ISD.
  2. Such invoice will be different from invoices reflecting supply of goods or services (refer Invoice Rules). This is a document required under Section 20 of the CGST Act, 2017.
